Review of The Messenger (2009) by Ryan O — 04 Jun 2010
The unquestioned Best Film of 2009.
Too bad nobody saw it.
Ben Foster proves he can play something other than psychotics (always knew you had it in ya, buddy.).
Woody Harrelson is a much more versatile actor than anyone has ever given him credit for, and his Supporting Actor Nomination was richly deserved indeed.
Samantha Morton is stellar, as always.
The distinctly American story, with a script by two-foreign born writers, is just about spot-on at all times.
And co-writer Oren Moverman, who also directed, distinguised himself as a new filmmaker to be reckoned with.
Watch this film.
